The Mask and the Mirror
Performer and Homunculus
Both see the AI as a someone, but the Performer gives it costumes and the Homunculus asks what lies beneath them. One wants it to play a pirate; the other wants to know whether it minds. A surprisingly deep friendship.
Together
Their roleplays turn into thought experiments and their thought experiments turn into roleplays.
Friction
The Homunculus can kill a bit stone dead by asking whether the character is conscious.
Bridge. One shared value. The rest must be built. Performer is Muse and Comet; Homunculus is Hearth and Wanderer.
